1 Star Buyer Beware
When I tried this first, the CD drawer would not open. I exchanged it. It recorded to CD but only sporadically. Parts of songs and whole songs were missing. This happened with different records and different CD-R’s. Now I’m looking for something more reliable.
5 Stars Crosley Record player/CD Recorder
I love this product. It allows me to play/record records at all three speeds. You can record the whole side of a record in a single track (easiest), or record individual songs in seperate tracks. You can also play/record Tapes the same way.
It allows you to play CDs or am/fm radio as well.
I’ve finally gotten my old records out of storage and can play them on CDs or on my IPOD - which was the main purpose of getting this product.
4 Stars Excellent Product
The Product was exactly as stated. Highly recommended to anyone
The Price was extremely expensive

2 Stars 1st one delivered was defective, nervous about ordering another
I ordered this for my Dad for Fathers Day and it was delivered fast! He has one of the other Crosley players but it does not record to CD which he really wanted. Recently the cd player door will not stay closed on his original Crosley ( he has only had it a couple years and it was not cheap either!)… anyway so I figured I would order him this one to replace it with. It was delivered 2 days before Fathers Day and I was real happy about that. He was very excited and tried to set it up and the display does not work. He tried for a couple of hours working with it and the screen would come on but would not show any of the functions. Well he is very disappointed and so am I. I have scheduled a UPS pick up and decided on a refund instead of an exchange because I want to make sure my refund goes through ok first before I reorder. I have never returned anything to Amazon before so I hope it will be a smooth process. After reading some of these reviews I am really nervous about reordering ….. but I know he really wants one, so I guess I will.
4 Stars Crosley CR248
I purchased the Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder to transfer a large number of tapes and records to CDs. It works just as described. I am very happy with its performance. While my experience with it is still limited, I would certainly recommend it to anyone having needs similar to mine.
5 Stars Just What We Wanted
Does a great job of converting vinyl to CD - the sound reproduction is excellent. The CD created sounds just like the original. The ability to play and convert records of all speeds is wonderful as we have an extensive collection going back to the 40s. Easy to use too.
1 Star not worth the money
i’m not for many words so i’ll be brief, i record cds from albums using a 2nd generation pioneer. i bought this thinking i wouldn’t have to break down and reassmble my stereo everytime i wanted to record from album (long story, moving on) this item is fine for the novice recorder (but not for the price). it makes an “o.k.” recording (but not for the price). for the money you can get a better turntable and outboard recorder and do a better job. i mean get real, the track inscriber actually stops the recording and restarts!?! in which w/o care, you end up cutting off one song at the end and one at the begining! i don’t think the 1st generation recorders were THAT archeic! you can’t adjust tone arm pressure! you can’t use better stylus (only their replacement which is mediochore at best) and here’s the real kicker…$30 for s&h !!! if it wasn’t so much to, i’d send it back, but i’ll cut my loses, use it till the needle wears (oh i can’t wait for that) and then give it to the resale rack cause i couldn’t bring myself to actually try to sell this! buyer beware.
5 Stars A Must-Have!
What a wonderful product to preserve those timeless, precious memories captured on tapes and records. I’m so glad I bought it; I can’t believe I didn’t buy it sooner!! It’s a must-have.

1 Star No Croslely customer service - product does not work
Received as a Christmas gift. It came from JC Penny so I had no problem returning it. The albums worked okay but the 45rpm records did not. I never tried the cassette. The turntable seemed to be warpped which was very noticable on the 45rpm records. Also on most of the 45’s the stylus would come up before the record ended and return to its rest position, resulting in not getting the complete song. I called Crosley on Dec. 31, 2008. I was told someone would call me back in 48-72 business hours. (No holidays or weekends.) It is now January 24, 2009 and I never did hear from them. Luckily the item has been returned and I have my money back. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
1 Star crosley
this crosley songwriter looked very nice but didn’t perform well at all.
i had to keep pushing the buttons to get it to run and when I tried to record an album onto a cd at first it didn’t want to start it kept telling me there was no cd then when it did say it was recording it only recorded 2 songs from the album i returned it and will be looking for another recorder other then crosley
1 Star Crosley CD Recorder
The Crosley is a piece of junk. Lousy speakers. Hard to read program buttons.
Its a shame I can’t give it a lower score than 1…
2 Stars Major Wear and Tear On Your Records
This turntable and most if not all the Crosley’s turntables are overpriced for what it gives you. First off, the sound quality is not very good and the tone arm does not have a weight control to prevent the stylus from severely damaging your ablums if accidently kicked or knocked. Also without weight control on the tone arm, more pressure is applied on the sound groves and your albums won’t last very long. You can definitely get a better deal for a turntable equipted with tone arm weight control so the stylus will ease up your fine albums and still give you excellent sound quality.
5 Stars cd recorder/record player
I am pleased with this item. I am still new with it but so far it is okay in my book. Glad they found a way to make items that you could use to put records onto as well as made up cassettes. The only thing now is they need to make a item like this that has a cd recording side as well as a cd player side like they do with cassette dual decks.
